For some reason despite an early start and the heat and all the running around and park run, my brain told me to go hiking this afternoon because I had a couple of hours to kill. In classic Ben fashion, I decided to do the hard route, got lost. Really lost. Had plenty of time though so figured I'd just go with it. As soon as I thought I was dangerously far away from my car it turns out I had somehow made it back to the car. So figured if that was the hard route and it was so quick, I'd do the easy route because I had plenty of time. I GOT SO LOST. FOR HOURS. My phone nearly died. I thought I was going to have to ask someone to call out Chiselhurst mountain rescue. Wasn't going to make it back in time to pick up kiddo from work. And then somehow I just sort of popped out a few miles just down the road, so managed to get back. What a palaver. I shouldn't be allowed out by myself. I did get some photos of some excellent trees though which I shall post later! Huzzah! I am very hot!
